Chapter 243 Reveal
Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to look back in the direction he was looking, but suddenly she heard several shrill horn sounds in her ears.
The light is green and the car behind is urging me to go faster.
Jiang Wan was about to remind him, but Shen Yan had already retracted his gaze, stepped on the accelerator and sped through the traffic light.
When Jiang Wan frowned and looked at the rearview mirror again, he only caught a glimpse of the rear end of a black Hummer that had turned right.
Her pupils shrank slightly, and she could already guess whose car it was.
Shen Yan probably saw the people in the car, which is why he reacted just now.
When she went downstairs, she was already prepared for what Shen Yan might ask, but what she didn't expect was that even after that, Shen Yan still didn't mention Shao Lu'an.
Since the other party didn't mention it, Jiang Wan naturally wouldn't say anything.
There were some things she herself hadn't figured out yet, and she really didn't have the energy to explain them to others.
She breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, but she didn't notice that the man next to her seemed to be staring intently at the front, but his eyes were actually becoming increasingly clear and obscure.
Of course Shen Yan saw Shao Lu'an.
The other party was clearly driving in the right-turn lane where he didn't have to wait for the red light, but he deliberately slowed down his speed, slowly lowered the window, and glanced at Jiang Wan from an angle where he couldn't see.
Under the shining neon lights on both sides of the road, even though it was already evening, the red mark of the slap on the man's left cheek was still clear.
But in Shen Yan's eyes, it was not as glaring as the other person's bitten lips, which he was reluctant to wipe off even the blood.

When we arrived at Renxi No. 1 where the Shen family lived, night had already fallen.
The car drove steadily towards the direction of the Shen family, but Jiang Wan subconsciously perked up his attention.
Renxi No. 1 was certainly not unfamiliar to her. After all, she had just met Song Youning here not long ago.
Of course, it’s not just Song Youning, there’s also Song Youning’s mother Ji He, Old Man Ji, and... Ji Xingjing.
Logically, she already knew that Ji Xingjing was busy with the South Coast Tourism Zone project and that he would not appear here, so there was no need for her to worry too much. However, she was really afraid of this man and became alert unconsciously.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the Shen family was located on the easternmost side of Renxi No. 1, which seemed quite far from the Ji family's old house.
Shen Yan didn't notice her subtle mood changes and drove into a villa halfway up the mountain with a beautiful view.
The residences of these powerful people have always been exquisite in their own ways. Jiang Wan has visited many of them during this period. In comparison, the Shen family's can be said to be the most elegant and quiet, and has the richest sense of history. Through the broad leaves and green grass, one can vaguely glimpse the walls inlaid with mahogany reliefs everywhere.
Shen Yan had obviously considered the time to bring her here as he said on the phone that night. At this time, there were not many cars parked in the parking lot on the right side of the courtyard, so naturally there were not many people coming.
However, after getting off the bus and walking through the corridor into the inner side of the garden, I couldn't avoid running into some people with obviously unusual identities.
In addition to some people that Jiang Wan vaguely remembered seeing in the business newspaper, there were also politicians among them.
For example... she had just met Xu Mingshan not long ago and even attended his birthday party.
The moment she caught a glimpse of Xu Mingshan talking to several people beside him, her breathing tightened uncontrollably, but quickly returned to normal.
There are many well-known and powerful people in Beijing, but this circle is not very big. Jiang Wan knows that the more he becomes involved with some people in the future, the more occasions like this will occur.
Instead of worrying about this and that, it’s better to get used to it as soon as possible.
But an old fox like Xu Mingshan, who has been in the officialdom for many years, would not easily reveal his ideas even if he had any.
Xu Mingshan obviously didn't expect to see her here, but he quickly reacted when she took the initiative to say hello and said with a smile: "I remember you, Miss Jiang Wan Jiang."
"I almost forgot you're at Beijing University. Ah Yan can be considered your senior, right?"
Shen Yan understood the key point, and a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed across his eyes.
"Uncle Xu has met Jiang Wan?"
Xu Mingshan glanced at Jiang Wan, smiled and nodded, but did not explain much. He just said that they should just go and say hello to Mr. Shen first, and it would not be too late to talk to others later.
Shen Yan didn't like socializing, so he didn't say any more pleasantries after hearing that. He led Jiang Wan through the hall to the inner room.
It was not until the two figures gradually disappeared from sight that the man next to Xu Mingshan sighed softly: "This girl is too eye-catching."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. After two seconds of silence, Xu Mingshan shook his head and said with a smile, "Whether these youngsters attract attention or not is none of our business."
If people like them want to keep their family standing longer, they naturally have to first know what it means to keep themselves safe.
Whether it was Jiang Xu before or Shen Yan now, as both were men, Xu Mingshan could certainly see what kind of thoughts they had about Jiang Wan, and those thoughts were not shallow.
This means that sooner or later some things will be exposed.
He had some friendship with both families, so logically he should have given them some warnings. However, there were more than just these two, there was also Ji Xingjing, who could make people lose their fortunes just by chatting and laughing.
Their Xu family has a relatively stable foundation in Beijing, and there are always some concerns in the official and business circles, so perhaps they are not that afraid, but he still doesn't need to seek trouble for himself.
This girl seems to have a weak and innocent face that makes people feel pity for her, but in fact she is very cunning. Therefore, when she is involved with these people, she may have considered it in her mind.
Jiang Wan is still young now, and some things may not be completely hidden under her overly beautiful appearance for the time being, but in the future... it is difficult to estimate.

Jiang Wan had no idea what the people behind him were saying. After walking away, he could see Shen Yan's doubts and took the initiative to ask, "Ayan, do you still remember Brother Xu?"
"You met downstairs at Shaw Group. It was actually a coincidence. Brother Xu and I went to Uncle Xu's birthday party together. I didn't expect to see him here so soon."
The name "Xu Ge" sounded very familiar, which made Shen Yan frown slightly.
How could he not remember Jiang Xu?
Strictly speaking, he couldn't help but remember clearly every person related to Jiang Wan.
He remembered Fu Chi, Shao Lu'an, Jiang Xu, Xie Heng, even Shao Ting, or perhaps some other men he didn't know yet, including the accounts in her live broadcast room that she had mentioned several times.
Many times, Shen Yan also wanted to ask Jiang Wan whether he had a place in her heart compared to those men.
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
What if not?
If not, and his thoughts were revealed again, would Jiang Wan distance himself from him from then on?
His thoughts might be too pessimistic, but he would not dare to gamble on that possibility unless it was absolutely necessary.
The only thing Shen Yan could be sure of was that once the issue was exposed, Jiang Wan would most likely never be as honest with him as she was now about certain things.
This is the only special thing he can covet now.
